This looks like a really fun deck and didnt know there were so many mill cards. Have you given though on ways to copy your command to pull more stuff from graveyards? Spark Double or Sakashima of a Thousand Faces. It seems a shame to make people mill half their deck only to get to pull one creature out of it.

Anointed Procession is a good alternative to Doubling Season! Lean into those token shenanigans! A bit pricey though...

Copies and clones can let you get more ETB triggers, and some can copy your general for more triggers. Multiple generals means multiple attack triggers and each one gives you extra votes!
- Sakashima the Impostor
- Sakashima of a Thousand Faces
- Helm of the Host
- Spark Double
- Irenicus's Vile Duplication (can't flicker it, but still another copy of your general!)

Sorry for all the pricey suggestions though...

I think Sakashima of a Thousand Faces would be perfect here, especially with Spark Double already on the list. Some other cards I think would fit:

AEther Sting

Defiler of Instinct

Immolation Shaman

Pyrohemia

For some reason, I hadn't even considered clones to make up for Horror tribe's shortcomings. Though I wonder looking through here if it's a bit too reliant on Maskwood Nexus? If Horrors aren't being focused though, Sakashima of a Thousand Faces fits well here since it can be a second N'gathrod as well as anything else. Looking into clones, Infinite Reflection is interesting.

Cool play on Umbris! Love that you are using Sakashima of a Thousand Faces and Cloning effects in your build!

My Pod caught on waaaay too fast to those tricks and I have to switch directions. Lol

Appreciate you've already covered this in the discussion above, but I have to insist on clone creatures for Mirrym :-D

The dead card thing is not as much of an issue as you may think; your main target isn't one of the dragons in your deck, it's Miirym herself. Even though many of the clones will cause you to legend-rule away Miirym, she just ends up in the command zone ready to go again, and you end up with two copies of Miirym. You could potentially recast Miirym then for two more copies, and any future clones can target the non-legendary version. Any creature clone (i.e. not spells that create tokens) will do, but Spark Double and Sakashima of a Thousand Faces are the stars.

I don't own a Kindred Discovery, but I found Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner does much the same job for only 3 mana, and the temp ramp is a nice extra.

Thanks for the feedback! Clones are a great idea! I am looking forward to seeing what Spark Double and Sakashima of a Thousand Faces can do in this deck. Then maybe we will expand further into adopting an Attack of the Clones shell!

Thank you so much for your feedback! I am happy that you enjoyed the deck list. FULL DISCLOSURE: Each of your suggestions (Spark Double, Sakashima of a Thousand Faces, Panharmonicon) were on my original draft list for the 99 of this deck. Alas, there were no available copies of these cards in my storage coffers, so I had to replace them with other options. If any of these cards become available in the future, then they will become definite inclusions into the 99 of this build. Thank you again!!
